1 Day 1 World Project: 5.00 am – 6:00 am
Did me best – wasn’t good enough. I was DESPERATE for a photo on the outside; but at 5 to 6 this-morning it was still dark ! Hence there is extraordinary courage inpresenting the ‘photo’ below, to add to Lisa’s non-challenge athttp://wp.me/p32wu4-14D. They are, of course !, telling us this is the first day of […]

CS monthly photo #11
And now for something completely different … (I wish I’d said that first !) This is a shot from the 10-year anniversary of the Bicentenary anniversary of Australia’s beginnings ! The tall ships had been here in huge numbers in 1988; and for the same period(January) in1998 someone had the brilliant idea of seeing how […]

There’s a reason, this time
At my Parramatta Library talk on Thursday, I had a fair bit of discussion afterwards (while stuffing my face with very nice vego sandwiches – imagine !!) about the blogsite. The general consensus was that fancy things –amongst which is slideout navigation – are not favoured by those who cannot claim to still have youth […]

More music, anyone …?
I’m currently struggling with my new bottomless filter grouphead, without a huge lot of success. Must preface that (a bit late, eh ?) by saying thatI have been able to make a WONDERFUL flat white with it, but at the cost of an enormous amount of coffee ground bymy Lelit. I’m sitting here with a […]

What is my PROBLEM ?!
Again I’m virtually incapacitated without pain management. Shit a brick, but it makes me grumpy … I awoke at midnight – having replaced the batteries in my bedside clock, I am sure of this fact ! – to hideous pain in my right upper jaw. Arose, found the Panadeine Forte (which I have NOT had […]

Remember heaven ?
We’re there again.:-) Paula sends me photos every so often, and I file ‘em for later use. This means that I currently have a fairly large selection, on a fairly wide range of image ‘topics’. I think I might arrange them by date, so as to keep these topics more or less together. In fact, […]
1 DAY 1 WORLD PROJECT: 4:00 AM – 5:00 AM
I managed it, Lisa ! – not very excitingly, though. http://nwframeofmind.com/2014/08/24/1... I decided to go with it as a kind of link to my previous entry, to Paula’s B&W Sunday and “Ominous” … Here is a shot of my kitchen ere the clock – seen in the extreme top centre– has reached 5:00am. Lui Stringer […]

Black & White Sunday: Ominous
http://bopaula.wordpress.com/2014/08/... My take on Paula’s non-challenge this weekis fairly radically different, as you see; so I need to explain it. Here is my now very large, 8-years-old-in-October moggy, Lui Stringer. That is to say, here he is at somewhere around 5 months. The ominous part of this photo is what he would develop into: not […]
